Comprehensive Programs Designed To Create Leaders
21st-century programs designed for the modern child
All of our programs were designed to help at-risk, immigrant youths become comfortable living in an unfamiliar place surrounded by diversity on all sides.
Summer Camps
When school is out, many parents wonder how their children can stay active and productive on a daily basis. The answer is a summer camp program with Detroit African Youth Development Organization. We offer a structured summer school program where students can engage in healthy activities to keep them active, interact with other like-minded children, and undergo leadership training to help them realize how to become a strong leader of tomorrow. In addition to helping kids embrace a healthy lifestyle, we want to prepare them to deal with the challenges of life. Contact us to learn more about how our summer school programs can be beneficial for your child.
Parenting Training
Learning never stops. We like to teach the kids enrolled in our program that learning is a lifelong undertaking. The same is true for parents. Learning new and innovative strategies on how to parent our children can sometimes be essential. Today’s world is different than it was 10 years ago. The times are changing fast. At Detroit African Youth Development Organization, we are prepared to help all parents evolve with the times and discover new strategies for successful parenting.

After School Programs
Keeping occupied is one of the basic principles of growth and advancement. Our after school programs were designed to help youth stay occupied and keep their brains engaged. We recognize that the youth of Detroit need after school programs to keep them off the street and in a safe environment where we can keep a watchful eye over them. In addition, our extracurricular after school program will help foster positive social connections that revolve around school, homework, sports and healthy communication.
Group and Individual mentoring
Our individual and group mentoring programs are based on the philosophy of positive youth development. Today, more than ever, youth need a guiding light of inspiration to help them navigate the ever complicated world. To help combat the challenges related to finance, conformity, leadership, troubled households, multiculturalism and beyond, we offer compassionate mentoring sessions on both an individual and group level. During every session, we will help attendees realize that one person can make a difference. It is possible to gain the confidence necessary to stand up and be a leader in your community, home and family.

Literacy Programs
Immigrants uproot their lives and literally move across the globe daily. Even though the process may seem worthwhile and well suited, there is an undeniable set of challenges and circumstances that often await these newcomers. Setting up a new life from scratch can be task enough, coupled with needing to navigate a new culture, unfamiliar systems, and possibly a foreign language. This can lead to hardships and prolonged negative outcomes. However, when newcomers are supported by peers, or have programs and networks in place they have far greater success and achieve optimal settlement and positive outcomes in life.As part of an effort to improve the challenges facing newcomers, Detroit African Youth Development Organization gives immigrants access to the resources, guidance, education, and trusted connections needed to thrive. This organization was also created to foster inclusion so that no newcomer feels alone and has access to support every step of the way on the journey to settlement. To support literacy, education, and academic growth of immigrant families, Detroit African Youth Development Organization offers the following services to:● ESL Classes
● Computer Classes
● Financial Literacy Education
● And more.
Inclusive Integration of African Immigrants in their US communities
Unlike other immigrants, African immigrants stay distant from the affairs of their new communities and show no or very little interest in socializing and interacting with the communities of their host country. As a result they are cut off from the important decisions making by community leaders, they remain out of knowledge of the news, successful trends therefore incapable of grabbing emerging economic opportunities to succeed. The organization will work to bring African immigrants close to their representatives in the counties and the states, the schools, and the communities workers
Economic opportunities promotion
The creation of vibrant communities for African immigrants in the US is of paramount and at the nexus of their successful integration and the realization of their American Dream. The organization will promote social entrepreneurship and other income generating activities among youth and women individually or in-group. Limited access to financial services being the most impeding cause to youth and immigrant women’s entrepreneurship, the organization will help with advisory services to facilitate their access to finance and will promote smart rotating saving funds (traditional rotating saving groups based on trust). Furthermore, the organization will focus on skills development to equip youth and women with vocational and apprenticeship skills to enable them to engage in an industry business. To ensure successful development for the new entrepreneurs, the organization will set accompanying measures and education in professional and business development, such literacy in basic accounting, financial planning, and business management, etc.
As for Africa, the program will revolve around skills development, promotion of income generating activities and social entrepreneurship
